The Rangers will make the proper adjustments around Kharkov (AV-Mannstein), encircle your Kings for a game two victory. The key goal will from Tiger Company C- Nash/Whittman. The big guy will crash through LA’s defense with his huge frame. Let’s Go Rangers!

The Rangers beat Quick once, and his defenseman beat him once. That’s one of those goals that you credit the Rangers for creating the opportunity and taking it to the net, but there’s no way you hold that one against Quick.

Thu, 05 Jun 2014 05:16:46 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2332362#comment-338155AV likes to play defense whenever his team gets a lead. He’d always put the Canucks on a leash when they got a lead and sometimes that came back to bite the team in the butt, like when they lost two series to the Hawks. Better to the let the team keep pushing and get the 3rd and 4th goals and really put away a team than just let them hang around only down 2….

AV is already being outcoached by Sutter. No surprise there.

Friends, just like when you’re on a blind date, it was a given tonight that we Kings would be ‘tentative’ at first eh ? … heck we haven’t seen these people since November ! Regardless, after just a ‘little’ conversation, the dye was already cast for that which would be …

HAPPINESS “3” vs RANGERS 2 !!!!

you’ve just gotta love it man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):)

Thu, 05 Jun 2014 04:02:08 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2332362#comment-338135The Kings just have so many clutch playoff performers, it’s almost unfair. The Rangers were impressive at times but they can’t let LA control play like they did in the 3rd and OT. Lundqvist can only do so much.

Thank you so much Bobby Clarke for dealing Justin Williams… he’s only gone on to be one of the best playoff performers of all time. And Danny Markov was such an integral addition.

His save percentage was slightly higher than Quick’s. And while I do hope the Rangers lose this series (since they best my Habs), he arguably played better than Quick who wasn’t tested nearly as often. Was a good game, but if NY can score more on fewer chances with Henrik playing like he did tonight, this series will go 7.

Thu, 05 Jun 2014 03:45:36 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2332362#comment-338130He shut the door for a long time, kind of like Quick in ’12. But the Rangers weren’t able to get that third goal they needed, either when it was 2-0 or late after it was tied. At some point, though, even the greatest goalies in the world will be overwhelmed at some point if they can’t get some goal support. Hasek may have been the closest example of a goalie who singlehandedly almost won a Cup, and who knows what happens if the Hull skate in the crease goes differently, but in the end even that’s not enough. The question will be whether the Rangers can get enough offense without sacrificing their defense, and can they find a way to not get worn down as the games and series go on.

Lundqvist looked stellar late in the game, but both of the Kings goals in regulation were stoppable pucks…. especially the second one. Stoppable pucks can’t go in if the Rangers are going to win.

Thu, 05 Jun 2014 03:42:15 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2332362#comment-338127The worst thing that happened to the Rangers was getting an early 2-0 lead. They looked very good in the first period when they were pushing the attack and using their speed to pressure the Kings. Once they were up 2-0 though, they clearly backed off a bit… and when they needed to kick it back in later in the game, they were doing it against a very good team with all the momentum going against them.

Still though, despite the Kings control of the play later in the game, the Rangers looked very good at times and generated a lot of chances. We also saw that, despite a lot of pressure, the Kings didn’t score with the same ease they did most of the playoffs. That’s a good sign for the Rangers, although the first two goals Lundqvist allowed were a bit questionable….

Now as a bit of an aside, I REALLY wish the Rangers didn’t throw a long and expensive contract extension at Girardi. That’s not a reflex based on him throwing this game away single handedly either…. I was very much against it at the time as well. He can be very solid on defense, but he is not nearly as good under AV as he was Torts. Not to mention his puck moving ability lags far behind his defensive ability, and has made him into a turn over machine in the playoffs. That’s a HUGE problem when you are on the ice against the other teams top players more time than not.

Terrible start from the Kings, and game effort from the Rangers, but this postseason the Kings going down two goals is almost meaningless. Both teams had their chances and that’s about all you can ask for. Can’t wait for game two!

He wasn’t able to shut the door with a 2 goal lead, whereas Quick was able to do it with a 2 goal deficit. I’ll say it again. Lundqvist will have to be great during every minute of every game if the Rangers want a chance to win the SC.
